This can only be done By the law of SUD-
! ply and demand. American laborers do
not desire such legislation. They only
want the free and ready means of contest
| ing with capital for fair division of the
results of production. We have no room
in this country for anarchists, communists
or socialiStS-tne worst productions Of
despotic governments All our Workingmen
want is an open field and a fsir chance,
with the right of organization, co-opera-
ton, snd the friendly sympathy of ell
classes and conditions of men. The Con-
federste idea has had it's Example in
slavery, and now has its natural fruits in
millions Of Iaborers deprived of their
constitutional rights by controlling phys
icel force and violence. No suca servi-
tUde of labor can exist il q Republican
community.
And so with the education of the masses
OF the people. Wherever the Republicans
are in power free schools, as matter of
course, are open TO all children, free Of
cost, and the same opportunities for ed
IcdtiOn are open 10 the children Of the
poor and rich alike, without money sud
without price. When the startling evil
dences of illiterecy IN ths south were
disclosed by the census of 1850, meas
ure was twice introduced and passed by
q Republican Senate 10 appropriate large
sums of money from the national treasury
to be distributed according 10 the number
OF illi.erate persons in the several states.
When tneS3 measures were sent to a
Democratic House they were promptly
smothered. According to the Confed-
crate idea they were unconstitutional.
They found no power in the constitution
for the education Of children. Perhaps
CLEAN OF intelligence informed them that
Democracy and ignorance 20 hand in
hand together, and this was q conspiracy
against the Democratic party of the fu-
ture. At all events, these oils sleep the
sleep that knows no waking in 9 Demo
cratic committee
So also with internal Improvements
Our country is bounded by great oceans
open 10 all the world, but with imperfect
harbOrs, and is cut By vast rivers, the
for The cheapest POSSIBLE trans
pOrtstiOn, with bars and falls and snags
that prevented or lmpeded their use II
has been the policy of the Republican par
ty, during every Congress wnen il had
me power, 20 appropriate money from
the NatiOIsl Treasury 10 remove these |
obstacles 70 commerce, and 90 open these |
highways to the free AID untaXed use of /
the people. The Democratic party has /
also been opposed, more or less, to this |
policy, but grea: works were in progress I
and by the common consent of both /
parties, Congress, at its last session, |
passed bill in the usual form to provide |
Or the most important works. Il was |
sent in ample time 70 the President for |
lis approval, but he had been so busy IN /
-eading ana yetCing pension bills to .
Union soldiers that he he'd no time TO I
cad the river and harbor bill SO this .
great measure Of Internal Improvement |
vas defeated, and numbeIless unfinished
works are delayed and others destroyed |
" the POCKET veto OF q Democratic PreSi- /
lent. l tell you d cOmnon saying inst .
he President you'd have found time 20 /
ign it but that there was @ small aDprO-
)riatiOn IL the bill for the uennepin canal.
-
II l have correctly stated The aims and
OF the two parties, the Repub
icsn party Is the only party tit to carry
,ut such 3 policy, Our &dyersaries may
rood over the dead past and mourn the
leCay of Confederate ideHs, but Repu5I-
ans viii mil with unOOulGcd satisfsC-
ion every advance OF cur COuotTy in
trength and power a. home and abroad,
OnsCiOUs that this is COn.istea with. the
uu powers Of state, CoGaty and local
Overeignty, reaching to every family and
Omestead in the land. We brood over
10 lost cause, but look forward hopeful
= to reap for future generati Ous the
reat benefits conferred by the sacrifices
nd services of our patriot soldiers IN the
reservation Of the Union and Toe abOli-
ion Of slavery.
1t is said thai the Republican psrty had ,
cen long il power. Our Democratic
riends wanted 10 examine the books
hey wanted TO turn the rascalS cut.
What rascals have they found in? What
1rong or pecUlatiCn have they found in !
be books? | can with cor fdeLce aud
ride say ito you that no administration '
I this or any government has been more J
zee from corruption, fraud or peculation
ian the Republican administrations from
lincoln to Arthur, both included. The I
republican party has justified Itself in j
7ar and in peace. 1t is the only party in
lis country thst can give you national, {
atriotic, liberty loving, fraud hating and
usiness administration. 1t enters into
lie lists this year and next year :
roud of its record, with no
pologies to make, no crimes to repent !
(, no people deprived by it of their j
ghts. 1t has stood the test of defeat T
nd retirement with unquestioning &C =
though it was brought about +
= crime. 1t has fairly treated the Demo =
ratio President, who has gained public z
pproval only as he has resisted his party
will again appeal to the SURFACES of
lie people, asking only an honest vote
nd fair count, and referring to It's
ecord in the past as the best evidence it I
IN give that it will maintain in the f
lture the honor of our country abroad, I
evelop the resources OF our people at f
ONE, and secure all, so far as it can, in F
lie full and equal enjoyment of the rights I
nd privileges of American citizens. b
